How to do downgrading cuda version - cuda

I'm currently using the cuda version 4.2 but I need to change it to 3.1. Is it possible to uninstall the current version (ver 4.2) and then install the previous version (ver 3.1) ?
EDIT : Please refer that my os system is linux ubuntu 10.04 64bit.
EDIT : I found how to get the version of 3.1. I have to send e-mail to "devzoneupdate#nvidia.com" to request this old version. Now, please let me know how to uninstall 4.2 then install 3.1.
EDIT : I downloaded cuda 3.1 by request to nvidia, then installed toolkit and SDK. When install the cuda 3.1 toolkit there comes the question about uninstallation of current version. For SDK, we can just delete ~/NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK directory directly for the uninstallation of it. After deleting I could install the cuda 3.1 SDK. I'm done, thanks all.

Yes, you can easily downgrade the CUDA version provided you aren't using the CUDA toolkit functions which are only present in version greater than 3.1.
Also you would have to modify your project settings to use CUDA Rules version 3.1.

WARNING:
ubuntu 12.04 upgraded to 12.10 with standard cuda 4.2 installed; in the process of downgrading to CUDA 4.0 using NVIDA installer resulted the !! COMPLETE REMOVAL !! /usr/bin/
probably is a good idea to choose "NO" when removing existing CUDA installation is offered; though I never got to try it as only already loaded firefox remained functional.

While uninstalling CUDA toolkit ran into this problem, what to do?

I was installing CUDA toolkit and cuDNN for deep learning.
I downloaded the cuDNN libs, downloaded the CUDA toolkit and while installing the toolkit I get this,
And I never downloaded this, it's always been there.
Then I searched a bit about this and some guy said that we have to uninstall.
This is from my control panel,
So is it safe to uninstall these programs? And is this how to actually do it too?
It seems you previously installed higher versions of CUDA - maybe partially -
Try installing CUDA 11.4 instead.
Even if you want to use CUDA 11.2, uninstalling the above two components will not be a problem, as older versions will be installed instead.

mysql installer fails to recognize python 3.4

I'm trying to istall mysql server on a windows 7 machine - that has python 3.4.3 installed. However, when trying to install the python connectors for 3.4, the installer fails to recognize the python installation, saying python 3.4 is not installed.
Has anyone solved this issue before? I'ts driving me nuts...
Just to add to the murkiness, I had the same error with current version of MySql install when attempting with python 3.5 installed (which is the latest python download). Long story short, I uninstalled python 3.5, installed python 3.4.4 (which interestingly didn't update PATH so I updated it manually) and reran installer and it found the python installation.
So my conclusion is the MySql installer is tied to certain versions of the add-on products which in this case meant specifically python 3.4
just in case anyone else has this issue in future. Look at what bit version you have for Python 3.4. When I installed 64 bit version of Python 3.4, this issue went away.
I ran into a similar issue with Python 3.7.2.
In my case, the problem was that I tried to install the 64 bit MySQL connector, but had the 32 bit version of Python installed on my machine.
I got a similar error message:
Python v3.7 not found. We only support Python installed using the Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) [...]
The problem just went away by installing the 32 bit MySQL connector instead.
From my experience if you have both Py2.7 and Py3.4 installed when installing the mysql connector for py3.4 you will run into this issue. Not sure of the WHY but for some reason if you have py2.7 installed, the py3.4 mysql connector recognizes that version first and just assumes that you have py2.7 installed and does not recognize that py3.4 is installed.
The only way I have found around this is to uninstall py2.7 and then install the py3.4 mysql connector. You can always install py2.7 again after the fact.
I had 3.6.X version and it could not see it; I uninstalled it and installed 3.4.0 version and it passed the requirement.

Had the same problem and have fixed it. Using a Windows 7 PC and I already had multiple versions of Python installed.
Uninstalled all versions of Python from my PC
Uninstalled the failed MySQL install
Restarted PC
Re-installed Python 3.7 64-bit (the currently required version for MySQL)
Installed the Python 3.7 MySQL Connector separately through the link below
https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/
Once that was installed, restarted the MySQL install
The MySQL Installer window will open and already show the Python 3.7 MySQL Connector in the list of products
Click "Add" at the top-right and select all of the products you want and then install them
You should then be able to complete the MySQL setup
I was looking for an similar answer. The correct answer is that there is a bug in the mysqlconnector MSI. When python installs, it creates a registry entry under HKLM Software\Python\PythonCore\3.6-32\InstallPath however, the MSI for mysqlconnector is looking for installation path in the registry Software\Python\PythonCore\3.6\InstallPath as part of the RegLocator/registrypath variable.
Use ORCA to edit the MSI, change the RegLocator so that -32 is in the path. It will install now without error or changes to the system.
I had same problem with python 3.4, all I did was installed python 3.4 version for all users. and added system variable as per this page. it worked for me!
Hope that helps.
Make sure you have the 64bit version of whichever version of Python you are running. It can be downloaded from here:
https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/
Just had the same problem and this solved it for me. I also uninstalled all previous versions of Python before running the mysql setup
I had this problem until I discovered I had installed python based in another architecture (32b). MySQL required 64 bit.
Had the same problem with Python 3.7 when trying to install MySQL in Windows 10. It was fixed by installing the 64-bits version of Python, not selected by default when going to https://www.python.org/downloads/.
I found it in https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.3/python-3.7.3-amd64.exe
Here is a much simpler work around:
pip install mysql-connector-python
Is the same package that MySQL is having trouble installing. Just use pip to install it.
Next, go back to the installation style and select "Manual" instead of "Developer". They are identical, but "Manual" allows you to remove packages. Just remove the "Connector/Python" package from the list to be installed.
Carry on with the install, you're done.

installing 340.29 driver along with cuda 6.0

I have recently installed cuda 6.0 with a view of performance increment in windows 7 . the toolkit installer has display driver installer along with it and it installed display driver version named as 9.18.13.4062 . is this version mean 340.62???
Also it is mentioned that driver version 340.29 with cuda increases performance according to this link
does 340.xx series have the same performance ?? I couldnot get the version 340.29 driver. where can i download it from???
340.62 is the Windows GPU driver that ships with the CUDA 6.5 (windows) installer.
340.29 is the Linux GPU driver that ships with the CUDA 6.5 (linux) installer.
The link you have provided is referring to linux. 340.62 and 340.29 should be comparable, as much as "comparable" can be stated about a windows platform vs. a linux platform
Regarding the performance in the article linked, CUDA 6.5 (i.e. not just the driver) has significant performance increases in various libraries and in the compiler as well.
To get an idea of these performance increases, there is a webinar you can attend tomorrow (wednesday, September 17th) by following the link here.

NVBlas library in Cuda Tools for Mac 5.5

I just installed the Cuda Tools (5.5) on a Mac and I cannot locate the NVBlas library. It's not where the docs suggest it should be. Anyone having the same issue or know where it is? Checked all the libs and it's no where to be found.
NVBLAS is available starting with CUDA 6.0, not CUDA 5.5.

I am using OS: Centos5
I already have nvidia 1GB graphics card.
Any kind of suggestions/comments/help will be appreciated. Thanks
CUDA Zone has everything you need to start
